Many Dressmakers find it very difficult to
secure sec weil-fitting dresses for their patrons
Inc marsh, stiff bones and steels that they
have been obliged to use for Dress Stays are
very dlsaSreeable for many ladies to wear,
and at best they break so soon that the beauty
ana TIT of the dress is very soon destroyed
The invention Of q new Dress Stay which is
soft and pliable, yielding to every movement
of the body, giving the wearer perfect ease,
End also proving itself to be absolutely I'M
breakabie, has made quite new departure in
Drcssmaking. Wawen's Teathcrbone is tho
name OF this new STAY
1t Is made from quilts, and ia an entirely
new invention, having been manufactured
only about three years; but it is now largely
used by dressmakcrs in ali the large cities aud
many OF tho larger towns throughout tho
The manner by which it is attached to the
dress waist is new feature in dressmaking,
and ls patented by the inventor of the Feather
bone. This method consists in attaching the

rreiy preventing the formation of any wrin-

any color of dress lining may be matched as
ce'ired. 1t is finished in three different COW
erinSs-thrcad- covered, cloth-covered, and an
elegant satn-covcred, which makes as fine q
finish as could be desired for the finest
dresses. In short. this new dress stay pos
